For future reference: please check your error logs or enable error reporting for your application.

The problem is in this line:

@email($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

The function is called mail, not email. If you change it to the following, it should work:

mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

I dropped the @ as well, because that hides error messages and warnings in PHP. I consider it bad practice to use it. On your development machine you want to know when something is broken, so you can fix it. On your production server, PHP errors should be hidden by default, so there's no reason to hide them for individual function calls.

No but now i have the problem that i dont know how to make a php variable in html: $message = '|>> From: ## this is what i want to get in there but its not possible. Do you know how to? '$message2 .=" $name";''
– Christopher Müller May 10 '17 at 15:51
